"Good." Master Duyan nodded slightly, then took the decree from Zuo Lingjian's hand. He then turned and said to the tens of thousands of ghost kings and ghost soldiers below: "All gods and generals of the underworld, listen to my order! Search the Tushan Demon Tribe immediately. No mistakes!"

"Accept the decree!"

Tens of thousands of ghost kings and ghost soldiers shouted in unison. For a moment, Mount Tu was filled with ghostly aura and the light fell into the underworld.

Zuo Lingxuan also immediately gave orders, asking all members of the Tushan tribe to cooperate with the underworld search, and he himself, along with two elders, followed closely behind Master Du Yan.

Soon, the generals of the underworld discovered two abnormalities in the Tushan tribe’s base. The first one was the cave mentioned earlier.

"There are traces of a large number of ghosts that have appeared in this cave." A ghost king came to Master Du Yan and reported.

Master Duyan asked, "Are there a large number of ghosts?" He glanced at Zuo Lingxuan, who was standing nearby. Zuo Lingxuan showed no sign of panic, but replied, "Master, this cave was once a mass grave, so many wandering ghosts once inhabited it. They were later taken away by the Ghost King of Mount Tu into the Ghost Cave."

Master Duyan was skeptical about this statement. He asked the ghost king, "Have you found anything else?"

"Master, there is no more." The Ghost King shook his head.

Master Du Yan could only continue to check the next abnormality, but when passing by the temple dedicated to the White Fox God, Master Du Yan felt a chill on his back. He turned his head and saw a statue of the White Fox God faintly enshrined in the temple.

"What is this..." Master Duyan asked while looking at the white fox statue.

Zuo Lingxuan quickly said, "Oh, this is a statue of a white fox ancestor from my Tushan tribe. There's also a spirit of this ancestor on it."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Master Du Yan immediately directed his divine consciousness mixed with the divine power of the Immortal Official Jade Book to cover the white fox statue, but after carefully scanning it inside and out, Master Du Yan did not find anything unusual.

"So that's how it is." Master Du Yan didn't notice anything unusual, so he withdrew his spiritual thoughts and power, bowed to the white fox statue, and then left.

Only then did Zuo Lingxuan breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. Only after passing this level could he be truly safe.

Finally, Master Duyan saw the disciples of Xuanming Temple who were detained by Zuo Lingxuan, ranging from the Refining Essence Realm to the Yang God Realm, from young children to octogenarians.

"These people are all disciples of Xuanming Temple. They were captured by my Tushan tribe." Zuo Lingxuan did not hide anything about this and showed extremely excited emotions. He briefly described the hatred between his Tushan tribe and Xuanming Temple.

Master Duyan frowned. He looked at the disciples of Xuanming Temple who were trapped in the prison and wanted to intervene, but the Heavenly Court has always had a rule not to interfere in the feuds and fights between monks and sects unless they affected the creatures in the mortal world.

"Revenge is a matter of course, but Xuanming Temple has been destroyed, and the master, elders and others have all been killed. These low-grade cultivators don't have much hatred against your Tushan tribe, so just let them go." Although he couldn't intervene, Master Duyan still tried his best to advise Zuo Lingxuan.

Zuo Lingxuan did not express his opinion clearly, but only respectfully said that he would consider it.

At this time, Zuo Lingxuan asked, "Excuse me, Master, what crime did the Ghost King of Tushan commit?"

Master Duyan briefly recounted the theft of Mengpo Soup, then said, "Since yesterday, a large number of ghosts who had consumed Mengpo Soup have entered the Yellow Springs Road, all entering the underworld from the Tushan Ghost Cave. So, when I led the underworld gods into the Tushan Ghost Cave, we indeed discovered the base of Mengpo Soup. Furthermore, all the ghost soldiers and ghost messengers in the Tushan Ghost Cave had consumed Mengpo Soup. Therefore, we preliminarily concluded that the Tushan Ghost King was secretly detaining ghosts and stealing Mengpo Soup to settle accounts. However, he was too impatient and released thousands of ghosts back to the underworld at once, thus exposing himself."

Hearing this, Zuo Lingxuan nodded immediately, then shook his head and sighed, "It is unimaginable that the Tushan Ghost King would do such a thing."

After another half-hour search, no clues related to the theft of Mengpo Soup were found in the Tushan tribe’s headquarters. So after half an hour, Master Duyan announced the evacuation and led the underworld army back to the underworld.

Of course, the Tushan Ghost King was also taken back.

Seeing that all the ghost troops from the underworld had withdrawn and the ghost energy and yin energy above Tushan had disappeared overnight, Zuo Lingxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally passed the test." His tone was full of joy. Next, it was time for his Tushan tribe to show its strength.

Relieved, Zuo Lingxuan asked the two elders behind him, who also had happy faces, "How many ghosts who drank Meng Po soup have you released to the underworld?"

The two elders smiled. The fox elder on the left said, "Including the ghost soldiers and ghost messengers from Tushan Ghost Cave, there are probably about thirty or forty people."

When they first spoke, the two fox fairy elders in the Xuanxian realm were smiling, but after they finished speaking, their faces suddenly froze, and then they looked at Zuo Lingxuan in astonishment.

Zuo Lingxuan's expression froze, and a look of doubt flashed in his eyes. "But Master Duyan just said that thousands of ghosts who drank Mengpo soup entered the underworld?"

The two fox elders shuddered. "Impossible! We promised to only release thirty or forty people."

Zuo Lingxuan looked deeply at the two elders, then immediately turned and headed towards the temple where the White Fox God was.

After listening to Zuo Lingxuan's words, the White Fox God said, "Don't be afraid. There are only two possibilities in this situation. One is that Master Du Yan was deceiving you, and the fact that you didn't react at the time means you've already passed the test."

"What about the second possibility?" Zuo Lingxuan asked.

The White Fox God said, "The second possibility is that the Underworld also wants to use the theft of Mengpo Soup as an opportunity to settle some of its own unclear and unclear debts, and then put all the blame on the Tushan Ghost King."

"This is a good thing," said the White Fox God. "If the Underworld is really using this opportunity to settle accounts, then this case should be concluded with the Tushan Ghost King, and the Underworld will not investigate further."

After hearing the White Fox God's explanation, Zuo Lingxuan finally understood and felt relieved all of a sudden.

"I see! God is really helping me."
